HA! I dont' think so.

Anyway, we tried to do this and our school's administration actually put a stop to it. It might be because we're technically the "Honor Fraternity" (phi sigma pi) but to my knowledge i don't think any "real" greek has had this party yet either. we even tried to rename it to a Ladies and Gentlemen party and the admin slaughtered that too.

i dont think its a bad idea, i mean a "Pimps and ho's" party is all in fun.. i know people who have had them go very well... if you dont want to risk disrespect, try another theme party like i'v seen some that were Famers ball , or PJ Party or costume party just and idea

The question is, would you send in photos to your Nationals and go "Here are some pics from our "Pimps and Hos Party"", please publish them in our fraternity/sorority magazine?

I'm not against people dressing up sexily, but I do object to women being referred to as "whores" and even more so, to women referring to THEMSELVES as "whores".

Call it something else...they did in the Bridget Jones movie (remember the "Vicars and Tarts" party?)

Well, I personally wouldn't want a sorority that I am in to be having one, but if a fraternity threw one, I would probably go (I know I'm completely perpetuating the double standard here!)

A tart is just a british word for Hoe..... if hoe is disrespectful, then tart defintally is also..

I would not have a problem with this, and no one at our national would make a stink with regards to the title or theme of the party. As long as it follows the university rules and nobody gets hurt, creative parties are a good idea.

I cannot believe that there is this big of an issue over this topic... our pimps and hoes party last spring was one of the biggest parties that we had all year, if women didn't want to be "hoes" they dressed up as pimps... and vice versa... it is a freakin costume party, and therefore the name describes the costumes, not the people in attendance... We have pictures from it on our chapter website, and no one from IHQ that has seen them have complained a bit... all of the people that are to cool to go to the party we probably didn't want there anyway.

bumping b/c it's an interesting topic and there's been lots of newbies to GC since then.

Any updated thoughts on this topic?

What about in light of Lil John and his Pimp Cup and all that stuff?

Has "pimp" sorta gained a new meaning? Yo man, that's pimp. Or you're pimping that shirt, etc.

Can't really say much about hoes aspect though, that hasn't changed.

Maybe it's just me, but to attend a party as a "ho" is disrespectful. Yes, it's just another costume party, but think about what you are dressing up as...

Quote:

Still slaves and hoes are very different. No woman is born into prostitution. Prostitution is not nationally legal. Woman have a choice slaves didn't. Women have rights slaves didn't. I don't see a comparion. Sorry.

Yes, women have rights...in the US. But in many countries where prostitution is rampant, these "hoes" are SOLD into prostitution or are kidnapped and forced to "ho" it up for their pimp.

How would you like being forced to sleep with 10-15 guys a day and get no money, no freedom and no life outside of prostitution? This happens to women all over the world daily...unfortunately, many of these "hoes" are children.

By throwing a party, even in fun, that makes light of women being used and degraded is amazingly sad and I HIGHLY doubt that your nationals would actively support a party suce has this.

Aren't sororities supposed to build character and inspire women to be their best? I doubt going to socials and dressing like a "ho" is what your founders thought about when they were forming your organization.

Just my 2 cents...

This says it better than I could - except for one thing: would you want your daughter to think that she's a "ho"? It just sounds so trashy.

But then again, y'all know that I can be a real prude at times.

you and me both honeychile, you and me both!
